[color=#000000ost_uid1]I don't think you really want a electric suspension system
as they are very very expensive and not any better for
handling. The 323 Turbo Familia's had them as an option
but most people are having them removed as they are
too expensive to maintain. There is also an expense to
have them removed once installed. I would just go coilovers
and go to the trouble of manually adjusting them each time
you want low and high. Note that the car needs a wheel
alignment each time as the castor/camber setting change
with height.

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Ok ....what brand makes the ajustable (not electric) suspension for the V6 ??

So it's not a good plan to lower and upper the car.

Let's say I'm going to work....I have to make many ......bumbs (speed limiters I don't know in english) So the car will be damaged in 5km.

But when I go to a auto show I want my car very low.

How can I make this ?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]hey jeroentje.nl

see you found the word yourself: suspension...hehehe

maybe you should ask the guy from S&G that we asked at speed 2002....in Holland there may be one manufacturer available.... but like big mal said..everytime you adjust the height you have to align the car..if you use adjustable koni's it only changes the torsion of the coilover, not the height so you won't have to align..[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]If you are only going to lower your car for shows then use
coilovers and make a mark on them when its set at the
high setting. You can lower the car for the show and when
you raise it back do it to the line and it should be very close
to original so you should be able to get away without
needing to align the car again.

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes that's what I want.

How much will a electrical system cost ? That's the most fun.

Let's say you out on your alarm it let the car lower. As low a possible. ::[/colorost_uid0]
